So, i am new to pc building, and i wanted to start with a very small build by using eBay parts. And, my goal was to stay near150 dollars. So far, i have this:

I already have a copy of windows 7, so i can install that onto the computer. For the power supply, i was wondering if their were any cases with them built in, which would be under 20 dollars. I dont care if it is used.

I was wondering four things:
1. What type of performance will i get from this pc (in terms of gaming)

2. Are all the parts compatible

3. Is there any case that is around 20 dollars with a 400 watt power supply built in (used)

4. Is this a good monitor? http://www.ebay.com/itm/AOC-19-Widescreen-LED-Monitor-Computer-Color-Screen-/301252886556?pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item462412401c

There is no case with a power supply under $20. You can get an intel pentium g3220 with integrated graphics and save yourself some money so you can get a good power supply. You won't get good performance for gaming. You could maybe get 2 fps on low settings in minecraft. You could play minesweeper with no problem though :). This could be a good computer to use for an HTPC but besides that nothing in terms of gaming.
 


the parts are compatible and this is the cheapest case i can find but its 30$ http://pcpartpicker.com/part/logisys-case-cs305bk check on ebay for a used case with psu if u get one ...and the monitor is also fine.....
